I’m not sure I see the value in the Republicans for Biden, other than turning a possibly convincing victory into a landslide. They might help tip Texas. But if Texas is seriously in play, then it’s all over.

I’m 100% with you on this, Martin. Would be a dream come true if Biden could pull off a political realignment. That’s what it would be. The moment Trump is cracked, the GOP will have to reassess and recreate itself.

I vote making it a public part of the campaign. Show that his campaign is a microcosm of rational America. Including the dozen sane Republicans who reject the white nationalism infecting the Republican Party. It’ll rip apart the Republicans even further, and distract the shitgibbon. If he’s attacking them, it’s less resources to attack Biden directly.

As a reward, fine, let them save an oil well in Oklahoma. Clean energy will get it soon enough.
